“The car is simply here to pick me up. I would have offered you some more explanations but I am running out of time. I need to go now.” Alex said pulley then he picked his small old bag and he left the Millers home.

They soon arrived at the Bourne’s family house. Alex understood why Donald was the richest man in the city. His house was fully decorated with gold, the exteriors obviously cost millions of dollars but the inheritors cost two times more.

“Doctor, you are here!” Donald’s face lit up as soon as he saw Alex. He had been waiting by the door for him to show up. 

He had told his wife to let the doctor she had brought go so that he would make their daughter cripple but she was crying begging that he stay till the divine doctor that he called arrived.

Mr Bourne was also standing by the door. Her eyes were puffy as it was obvious that she had been crying for days.

“Is this the doctor you speak of?” her eyes flashed with anger and disgust. 

“Donald, did you seriously bring a rat to come treat our daughter that we have raised with love and loads of money?” She shirked.

“Anna, you cannot speak about the sacred Divine doctor that way. Do you know how hard it was for me to locate him?”

“This is the divine doctor? Dressed like this? I get that you have been frustrated and desperate to save our daughter and I feel the same way too but I am not going to let any road side man mooch over me and lie his way into scamming me. Open your eyes Donald.”

“You saw the card that I had shown you before you went to get your own doctor. He had recognised it in one goal. Not so many people know about it and you know that! Bsides i did my finding on the woman that gave me. Her Only brother was a doctor which means he is the right person.”

“If he was a divine doctor, why would he wear old clothes like that? The famous doctor that I brought even wore designer clothes here, he had something to show for his skills.”

“You are starting to get one my nerves. Anna. Since when did material things qualify if people were good enough to do their jobs, ” 

Donald turned to Alex and lowered his head, “Please ignore my wife’s gibberish, our daughter’s illness is starting to get to her. Please come.” Donald ushered him.

He was taken into a big room and a little girl was lying in the bed, Alex went over to her and examined her. Her parents looked so anxious as their eyes followed every movement he made.

A faint smile formed on his face, “Mr Bourne, you have nothing to worry about, Your daughter is suffering from hypersomnia.”

“How could you say she is suffering from such a minor ailment?” Dr Norton walked in. He had gone to ease himself in the vsitor;s bathroom before coming.

“I knew you brought in a quack doctor.” Anna said to her husband but he sbubs her.

Dr Norton spoke again, “if the girl is truly suffering from hypersomnia then she would be awake for ten hours a day, which is common to most patients with this condition but Ms Bella has not woken up.”

With confidence, Alex spoke, “There is a reason for that, this girl has been drugged with sleeping pills.”

“What? How did you know that?” Anna yelled at him. “See what i am saying donald, the doctor you brought to come and treat my daughter is here saying that sleeping pills is the cause of her condition .”

Doanld was a man that thought with more logic than emotion so he turned to Alex to ask, “Sir, how could you tell that she has been drugged with sleeping pills.”

”Your daughter’s pulse is weak, as you saw me earlier, I checked her eyes and her pupils were dilated. Her breathing pattern is quite irregular, I am sure you must have noticed this. Her clammy skin too says a lot about her condition.”

Dr Noton was oissed when he heard allthat Alex had listed .

“This is all false, Mr Bourne, he is trying to butter you up so that he can take your money. As your wife entrusted  to me, I have prepared a proper treatment plan for your daughter and I am confident that I will be able to cure her.”

Asides from proving himself right, Dr Norton was not willing to lose his paycheck from treating Bella Bourne. Donald Bourne was willing to give the doctor that treats his daughter a lot of cash and material gifts, he was going to let anyone take that from him.

“I see that Mrs Bourne had invited you to come treat her daughter before me and you have not gotten anything done, it will be wise for you to let me do what I came to do.”

“What? I had barely examined her when you came in. Besides, I have not started administering the treatment I planned for her yet. When I do, I am sure you will regret your actions and kneel to beg me, crying that I am the greatest doctor .” Dr Nototn bragged,

He then faced Mrs Bournewho who had brought him there. “Ma’am, you know my position and how many peopleI have cured since I have started this job, give me the opportunity to treat your daughter and do not let this quack touch her.”

Anna reached out her husband with watery eyes, “I know i have been annoying all day but please let Dr Norton treat our daughter first. If the treatment turns back, we have the divine doctor. As long as he is a divine docotor kike you said,. I am sure he will be able to heal our daughter.”

Donald looked in Alex’s direction as if to receive a go ahead. Alex nodded telling him that he should follow his wife's decisions.

The person he wanted it to be was Alex.“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life.

No matter what it takes.” Thea said she could barely mask her desperation any more.“I met this young man at the Bourne’s mansion when I was about to treat their daughter. We had a little conflict so I wasn’t able to get his contact or even get his personal information.” He said in a small voice.Thea immediately understood what Dr Norton said.

She had thought for a moment that Alex was some secret powerful healer or highly skilled medical practitioner..If that was how it turned out, she wasn't sure how she would have felt about it. Anyway, his secret was out.Being a martial arts master herself, she understood what kelvin had said and affected his wife. “It is no surprise that your wife had struggled with her illness for about two years, you guys have been taking the wrong path over the time that you have been seeking a cure.”“It is indeed something that a novice will not be able to treat. Only Martial artists or Masters would be able to handle it.”Kelvin nodded in agreement with her, “I didn't expect that Mr Cole would be a martial arts master at his age and yet he is not even recognised in Trim city, even if the whole town is Mericania.”Martial arts masters are quite easy to spot in Mericania as long as they showed their skills. They are also quick to get hours to their name because of their e

What should I do about you?”He didn't yell at Alex but he was focused on his son who had managed to make such a terrific mistake of picking the wrong person when his mother was in need of good treatment urgently.Killian faced his father and kept his chin up, “I did not pick up the wrong person. I am so sure that I got the description of who you had given me. The Divine healer could not make himself here so he had to send Alex to come in his place so that he could treat mom.”Before Killain could continue to speak his defense, Alex walked to him, “Where is the healer's Card?”Killain’s eye met with Alex when he demanded for the card, for some reason, his eyes looked different for it radiated this domineering and commanding presence, though he had not sensed it before but

If Alex was there it only means that thinks he's the Healer.That could not be, for Alex is a young guy and the history and rumors about the Divine healer had alway mentioned how they had been alive for so many years, for they had been around for decades.Many of them have grey hair and grey beards. But he didn’t match up with that description of the timeline.Gomez was always wearing a look of disbelief on his face. He was confused as the man before him was wearing clothes that were not befitting for a doctor. Most Doctors love to wear expensive clothes to show how much they earned from working.The divine Healer would be earnrng so much butthus man before him was just wearing low end clothes. Though they were new, he could tell that he could not be the divine

    Alex stood at the entrance of the bookshop like the person who was coming to pick him up had said. He had gotten there on time but it seemed like the person was running late but he was in a good mood so he was not annoyed that the person was running late. He was just waiting as he admired the clothes he was putting on plus the new pair of shoes he was also putting on. They were enough to lift his mood. A part of him still thinks that no one was going to show up because his Master, Dustin, might be playing a huge prank on him. Dustin had instructed him to wear some new clothes and shoes which seemed to catch everyone's attention. But he must wear a black cup from a counterfeit band named Gushi. Even if it was a prank, there was nothing he could do about it after all Dustin was the one pulling the strings.
